Can Stuffed Celery Be Made Ahead Of Time?
Yes, it sure can! You can make the cream cheese mixture, prep the celery, and store them separately. When you are ready to serve, just fill the celery with the mixture.
Since celery is such a sturdy vegetable, you can completely make the stuffed celery a couple of hours prior to serving and store in the refrigerator.
